High Defination TV


HDTV is High Resolution Digital Television (DTV) combined with Dolby Digital Surround
Sound. The results are crystal clear high resolution images and unbelievable surround
sound audio. All-digital HDTV broadcasts as many as 10 times more pixels than
standard TV. Standard TV usually displays around 210,000 pixels, and HDTV displays
between 1 million and 2 million pixels. A 16:9 HDTV widescreen aspect ratio transmits
images like they were intended to be seen, compared to a standard TV which has
an aspect ratio of 4:3.

HDTV is "interlaced", a term used to descibe the scanning system. Using interlacing,
an HDTV screen shows the odd lines during one scan of the screen, and the even
lines during the following scan of the screen. An HDTV shows 30 screen frames per
second, so 30 times per second, the screen shows half of the lines and then shows
the other half of the lines.

Smallest TD logger in the world!


Sensors: Temperature and depth
Memory size: 43,476 measurements in total*
Battery life: >12 months
Depth: Down to 1200m (user selected)
*(The memory size is divided between the two sensors as preferred by the user)

This is the world's smallest TD logger, and stores 21,738 measurements per sensor in its internal memory. The temperature range is -1°C to 40°C (30°F to 104°F) and the depth range up to 1200m depth. Battery life is 12 months and the sampling interval can be defined in second(s), minute(s) or hour(s). With this small temperature and pressure logger the scientist can tag smaller fish with DST than before.
